Hogwarts does not have a rule prohibiting students from returning to school during the summer.
It's just that the school's garrison strength has decreased after the holidays. After all, most professors will take advantage of this time to deal with their own affairs, and even Dumbledore is not always at school.
In previous years, only two deans, Sprout and Snape, stayed at the school year-round.
Sprout has to take care of the plants in the greenhouse and cannot leave for a long time.
And this is also her hobby. Rather than visiting friends or traveling to relax, she would rather be with her beloved flowers and plants.
Snape simply had nothing to do, and he didn't even know he had any other friends besides Ernie.
In addition, the Wizengamot supervision order has not been lifted, so he is too lazy to go out, so he might as well stay in school and study potions.
The remaining two deans, Professor McGonagall, also has the position of vice-principal, and they have to work hard for a while during the holidays. With her character, even if she criticizes the style of the top leader who ignores everything, she will still work hard without complaining.
Not open to trade.
Although Flitwick has nothing to do, he traveled around the world when he was young and made many friends. Not many of them are alive today, but there are also many.
Every year, the old professor travels around the world to meet up with friends. The older he gets, the more precious those friendships will be severed. After all, not everyone can live for more than 600 years like Flamel.
Among the other stronger professors, Sinistra, who teaches astronomy, can be said to have given up on vacation, and he is also a contestant running around the world.
But unlike Professor Flitwick, she is not visiting friends, but looking at the stars.
There are many high-quality astronomical observation sites around the world, and Sinistra always brings back a lot of star maps.
The same is true for Professor Babuling in the ancient magic text class, but no one knows where she went or what she went to do.
This professor who is proficient in ancient runes is extremely mysterious, and no one even knows her origins.
Ani only heard Hagrid mention that Barbling was already teaching at Hogwarts when he was in school, and that was already fifty years ago.
The situation of other professors is similar. After one academic year of hard work in school, who hasn’t had some personal matters?
On the contrary, Trelawny will carry out the house attribute to the end, but apart from helping to test the quality of the sherry, there is a high probability that he will not be able to count on anything else.
If you imagine that she can play a role in the security of Hogwarts, please give her two bottles of wine to help her copy a sheet of music, and then hang it in the middle of the room and tape it back to it.
This does not mean that you can predict good or bad luck, but it just makes you realize that Trelawney's "spectrum" is unreliable...
Filch, same as above.
Hagrid is naturally loyal and reliable, and his combat prowess far exceeds the baseline, but he rarely goes to the castle, and when he has time, he might as well wander around in the Forbidden Forest.
Uh, by the way, Snape also left school early this year after the holidays, fearing that he might not be able to come back before school starts.
Therefore, after the holidays every year, Dumbledore would seal the student dormitories after a comprehensive inspection to avoid being exposed.
After all, for Hogwarts, the safety of students is the most important thing.
Hermione wants to stay at school for a few days, and Ani is of course helpful, but she still has to talk to Dumbledore tomorrow. Rules are rules, and people's hearts are people's hearts.
After sending the little witch to the office, Ani returned to the tree house, holding a phoenix in one hand and a cat in the other, lying on the bed with her arms around her.
Oh, by the way, there is also a little bird snake lying on the chest. I forgot to bring it with me last time I went to Egypt. Aini dug more than 30 honeycombs in the Forbidden Forest to coax the little guy.
I picked up a lot of wool today, especially Hermione. The quantity is large and the quality is high. After helping me share the work, I also help him improve his strength. What a cute little girl.
Taking stock of the day's harvest, Aini fell asleep happily.
Shortly after Ani fell asleep, Sylvie also appeared in the tree house.
Biting her fingers, she looked at the big and small children stacked on the bed for a while. A misty green light flashed, and a little fairy was attached to Aini's neck.
Well~~~
Rubbing Aini's earlobe, Sylvie bit her finger again...
How can I fall asleep?
This is a big problem!
The night passed, and after waking up, Aini carefully stretched himself.
He couldn't help it. He didn't pay attention last time and kicked Tom out. He didn't want to experience Maomao's aggrieved look again.
What's more, now there is a phoenix and a bird snake...
Huh?
Aini turned his head, and the little fairy on the side was looking at him intently, with his own shadow in his emerald eyes.
Even if it was the first time he saw this image, he would never mistake Sylvie's aura.
Yes, I have one more pendant on my body.
Now that I'm back, I naturally want to go to Dumbledore first.
After returning from Egypt, the old wizard rushed into the principal's office, trying to peel off the resentment mixed with the memory.
Even though Dumbledore is one of the top people in the contemporary wizarding world, who among the simple people who could become the high priest in ancient Egypt?
This period of time cannot be said to have achieved little, it can only be said to be no progress. If it could be digitized, the progress bar was still stuck at zero when Aini left yesterday.
There are some countermeasures, but they obtained this thing to decrypt it, not to destroy or seal it, and they dare not use any risky methods.
If the integrity of the memory is destroyed, their harvest this time will be greatly reduced.
After washing, Aini poured the alfalfa he brought back outside.
After making out with the unicorns for a while, Ani said goodbye to Sylvie, hugged Tom and Lulu tightly, and patted Fox's wings.
The phoenix grew extremely fast after its natural nirvana, and now it has no burden to travel in short distances.
Teleported to the entrance of the principal's office on the third floor, Aini climbed the spiral staircase obediently after reading the password.
It would be impolite to move indoors directly. Even if Dumbledore has always regarded him as his successor, he still needs to maintain the necessary respect.
As soon as the door opened, Tom, who was still a little sleepy, instantly became energetic.
I can't help it, the wailing coming from inside is really too miserable.
"Wait a minute, Ani." Dumbledore stood in the open space in front of his desk, holding the crystal ball and testing it repeatedly.
As a few minutes passed, the wailing in the room became smaller and smaller, but the lines on the old man's forehead became deeper and deeper.
When the wailing sound subsided, Dumbledore lowered his hand holding the crystal ball and sighed.
"Still no progress?" Aini raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the problem was much more difficult than he thought.
"The only gain is that there is one less wrong direction." The white wizard smiled at himself, but he was a little happy.
It has been a long time since he encountered a difficult challenge, which made him feel like he was when he was young and studying.
"There is too little information about that era, and there is even less content handed down from the three major systems of ancient Egypt. Especially if the memory cannot be damaged, it is indeed an interesting problem."
Ani had no intention of comforting Dumbledore. He knew that the old man did not need comfort.
Perhaps in a certain aspect, they are the same type of people.
